## Description

## Functions

### gtk_progress_bar_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_progress_bar_new (void);

Creates a new GtkProgressBar.

#### Returns

a GtkProgressBar.

### gtk_progress_bar_pulse ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_pulse (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Indicates that some progress is made, but you don't know how much. Causes the progress bar to enter "activity mode," where a block bounces back and forth. Each call to `gtk_progress_bar_pulse()` causes the block to move by a little bit (the amount of movement per pulse is determined by `gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step()`).

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

### gtk_progress_bar_set_text ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_set_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                               const gchar *text);

Causes the given `text` to appear superimposed on the progress bar.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |
text | a UTF-8 string, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

### gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                   gdouble fraction);

Causes the progress bar to "fill in" the given fraction of the bar. The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |
fraction | fraction of the task that's been completed |

### gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                     gdouble fraction);

Sets the fraction of total progress bar length to move the bouncing block for each call to `gtk_progress_bar_pulse()`.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |
fraction | fraction between 0.0 and 1.0 |

### gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                      GtkProgressBarOrientation orientation);

Causes the progress bar to switch to a different orientation (left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top).

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |
orientation | orientation of the progress bar |

### gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize ()

    void
    gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                    PangoEllipsizeMode mode);

Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") the text if there is not enough space to render the entire string.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |
mode | a PangoEllipsizeMode |

Since: 2.6

### gtk_progress_bar_get_text ()

    const gchar *
    gtk_progress_bar_get_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Retrieves the text displayed superimposed on the progress bar, if any, otherwise `NULL`. The return value is a reference to the text, not a copy of it, so will become invalid if you change the text in the progress bar.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

#### Returns

text, or `NULL`; this string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed.

### gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction ()

    gdouble
    gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Returns the current fraction of the task that's been completed.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

#### Returns

a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0

### gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step ()

    gdouble
    gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Retrieves the pulse step set with `gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step()`

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

#### Returns

a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0

### gtk_progress_bar_get_orientation ()

    GtkProgressBarOrientation
    gtk_progress_bar_get_orientation (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Retrieves the current progress bar orientation.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

#### Returns

orientation of the progress bar

### gtk_progress_bar_get_ellipsize ()

    PangoEllipsizeMode
    gtk_progress_bar_get_ellipsize (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Returns the ellipsizing position of the progressbar. See `gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize()`.

#### Parameters

pbar | a GtkProgressBar |

#### Returns

PangoEllipsizeMode

Since: 2.6

## Property Details

The GtkAdjustment connected to the progress bar (Deprecated).

Owner: GtkProgressBar

Flags: Read / Write

### The `“bar-style”` property
